Answer:
The numbers are 25 & 55
Step-by-step explanation:
You can quantify this problem by using x to take the place of the first number. Because x is multiplied by 2 we get 2x, and add 5 since it is 5 more than twice the first. We can add x to 2x+5 which is 3x+5 and set it equal to 80. Then solve for x to get your first number, and subtract 80 from x to get your second number. Your work should look like this.
[tex]x + 2x + 5 = 80\\3x + 5 = 80\\3x = 80-5\\3x = 75\\3x/3 = 75/3\\x = 25\\80 -25 = 55[/tex]
Hope this helps!
